Happy birthday for Sunday, November 5, 2017: This year you work well with a part-ner who is as clever as you are deep. This combination could be powerful, especially if you work with this person directly. Make sure you really want what you are going for. Changes made now could send you in a new direction. If you are single, you will meet and relate to someone who clearly is a good match for you. If you want more, there is more to have. If you are attached, your re-lationship has many dynamics. The attraction between you and your sweetie remains vital and strong. GEMINI might encourage you to change your desires quickly.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult.

Capricorn - (Dec 22 - Jan 19)

*** Stay mellow, and don’t get caught up in any drama. Tension between you and someone who believes he or she wields power over you could mount and lead to an

argument. Take a step back and just try to be polite. You know how you feel here. Tonight: Get a head start on tomorrow.

This Week: Follow a hunch to the end.

Aquarius - (Jan 20 - Feb 18)

***** Your very active imagination eas-ily could lead to a change of plans. You de-tach nearly immediately when you sense this possibility. A friend is likely to share his or her opinion as well as some gossip and other ideas about what is going on. Tonight: In the whirlwind of the moment.

This Week: Kick up your heels.

Pisces - (Feb 19 - Mar 20)

**** You have a lot to share. You can’t force others to hear your message in the meaningful way that you desire. A partner could be combative. Confusion surrounds plans, but you’ll still make it to an important get-together. Tonight: Relax to a good movie or TV show.

This Week: You hit your power days Monday and Tuesday.

Aries - (Mar 21 - Apr 19)

**** Reach out to a friend at a distance. You’ll enjoy catching up on news with this person. Before you realize it, the conversa-tion drifts to getting together. You might be wondering how to work it out. An element of confusion weaves through the day. Tonight: Be near good music.

This Week: Other matters and situations have you smiling.

Taurus - (Apr 20 - May 20)

**** You wind down with the weekend. Eye a purchase with a certain amount of cyni-cism. Double-check the information and do some price comparison. A partner shares a broader point of view. Know that you don’t have all the details you need. Tonight: Dinner with a friend.

This Week: Use Monday and Tuesday to the fullest.

Gemini - (May 21 - June 20)

**** You say “yes” to more than you can

handle, even with your excellent multitasking abilities. Share this quagmire with a loved one who can pitch in. A relative admires your teamwork, but might downplay what you are doing. Tonight: Party mode takes over.

This Week: Though your responsibilities are heavy, you handle them well.

Cancer - (June 21 - July 22)

*** You will want to pull back and take a good, hard look at what is going on. You might feel pressured about a situation involv-ing your personal life. Figure out how you would like to handle this matter. Confusion surrounds you. Ask questions to get more info. Tonight: Do something just for you.

This Week: Look past the obvious.

Leo - (July 23 - Aug 22)

***** A mixed message could start your day. Don’t allow this matter to color your mood. Your creativity soars, and as a result, your inner child emerges. You have the ener-gy and enthusiasm of a child as well. A friend adores being around you. Tonight: Think

about now, not tomorrow.This Week: A partner plays a strong role

in the next few days.

Virgo - (Aug 23 - Sept 22)

*** Be careful about not overdressing or overspending for an upcoming event. A part-ner or dear friend could be confused about plans that the two of you have. Somewhere along the way, you could experience a snafu based on a misunderstanding. Tonight: Work till the wee hours.

This Week: Defer to others.

Libra - (Sept 23 - Oct 22)

***** Take an overview of what you are hearing. Remember that when someone tells you the truth, it is the truth as he or she sees it. People don’t just suddenly change their mindset or perspective. Be willing to listen to what others have to say. Tonight: Get into a game of cards.

This Week: Charge into work Monday and Tuesday.

Scorpio - (Oct 23 - Nov 21)

**** The need to satisfy your curiosity takes you down a new path. You might need more questions answered, especially if there are fi nan-cial implications. Examine your thoughts care-fully. Proceed with an important matter more carefully. Tonight: Brainstorm with friends.

This Week: Your ingenuity stirs the pot Monday and Tuesday.

Sagittarius - (Nov 22 - Dec 21)

**** You might want to let go of a need to have control over a situation and let oth-ers run the show. You often are the center of what is happening. A close friend or loved one who always believes he or she can do the job better is likely to step up to the plate. To-night: Let it happen.

This Week: Plan on having some midweek fun.

Dear Abby

Speaking in a study camp at Pravasi Auditorium Ab-basiya, conducted for ladies by Islamic Women’s As-sociation (IWA), Jamat-e-Islami Kerala State Ameer Janab M.I. Abdul Azeez said that the role of women in Islamic society is dynamic. Islam lays emphasis on the family as the building block, cornerstone and fun-

damental unit of society. The greatest duty of woman is, therefore to lay, the foundations of a virtuous soci-ety in her role as a mother. It is the mother who with patience brings children into the world, and whose love and proper grooming is so essential for a healthy society. Having started from family to society on the

whole, women are given a signifi cant role hand in hand with men, they should realize this fact and come forth. IWA president Mehabooba Anees presided over the function, earlier the program started with recitation of verses from Quran by Najiya and IWA GS Najma Sha-reef welcomed the gathering.

Father-in-law’s gifts of foodturn pregnant woman green

By Abigail Van Buren

Dear Abby: I am pregnant. Because of this, my father-in-law has started to dote on me, especially with food. He says cooking is his passion, but he’s a hor-rible cook. Every time he shows up, he brings some-thing he spent hours making and I feel obligated to eat.

My husband stepped in briefl y when his father kept making me spinach quiche. After one slice I got sick. My FIL kept bringing more quiche over until my hus-band told him it was one of my trigger foods for nau-sea.

The thing is, ALL of his cooking triggers my nau-sea. How can I get my FIL to back off? It was bad enough eating his food before I was pregnant, but I can

no longer stand it. It’s a waste of his time and a waste of food.

— Nauseated in the EastDear nauseated: It’s time for

you to speak up for yourself. Tell your father-in-law you ap-preciate his trying to nurture you, but that in your present condition you cannot eat any of it because of the violent nausea it brings on. Many women share your problem during pregnancy,

by the way.When the baby arrives, tell him you will re-

main on a restricted diet as long as you are nursing. Surely you are aware that women have been known to nurse their little ones for years. Once your child is ready to enter preschool, if your FIL is still trying to bring food over, tell him thank you but please stop cooking for you be-cause your palette and his are just too different. It’s the truth.

Dear Abby: My mom recently moved from her home to a memory care facility. While she has no short-term memory left, she’s happy, lighthearted and remembers her life and friends well.

I want to send a short change of address note to peo-ple across the country whom my mom has known for the past 70 years, to let them know how to reach her, or that they can drop by if they are in her city. I’m having trouble deciding how much to say and what is appro-priate. I read your column daily, and your examples of how to phrase things are smart and spot-on. Please give me some direction.

— Needs guidanceDear needs guidance: Consider wording your

message like this: “I’m writing to let you know that Mom is no

longer living in her house on Summerville Place. She recently moved to an assisted liv-ing facility called Memory Lane. Her address is _____________________________, and her phone number is ___-___-____. She is happy and lighthearted and remembers you all with great affection. If you are passing through her city, feel free to drop by and visit. I know she would love to see you and reminisce.”

Dear Abby: I’m from the South and have an ac-cent, although not a strong one. I was around some people from the North who made fun of my accent, which I did not fi nd funny. I fi nally asked them to please stop, and the response was, “We just love to hear you talk!” How do I handle people who make fun of me?

— Not funny in South CarolinaDear not funny: Ridiculing others isn’t funny;

it’s rude. The way to handle people like this is to avoid them.
